Are you looking for a step into programme development with a growing charity working with vulnerable families and cutting-edge innovation?

About the role

As our Programmes Coordinator, you will provide critical support to the Programmes Directorate. You’ll be the key cog helping our nationwide team to deliver quality programmes and services to kinship families across the country.

An admin whizz, you’ll be the key person to talk to for our staff, partners and stakeholders. Impact and evaluation are king here at Grandparents Plus, so you’ll be a champion for our Salesforce database, driving effective monitoring and evaluation of our programmes and services. You’ll also create reports for local authorities and other funders.

You’ll have great attention to detail as day-to-day you’ll organise workshops, meetings and training events. You’ll be talking to our carers, making sure they have what they need in order to have the best experience of our services.

Our specialist kinship care advice service supports volunteers and helps carers to access grants for essential items and holidays. You’ll work with the advice service, giving admin support when needed.

This is an absolutely key role for the organisation and is an interesting insight into working with vulnerable families and will provide you with experience across a range of programmes and services.

What we’re looking for

Our kinship carers are at the heart of what we do, so you’ll be absolutely committed to the work of Grandparents Plus and passionate about making a difference to the lives of vulnerable families. You’ll be a doer with a positive attitude. The nature of our work means that things can change quickly, so you’ll need to be able to problem solve and keep a cool head.

Excellent administration, teamwork, customer service, communication and organisational skills are core to the role, so these will be second nature to you. We’re looking for a person with bags of initiative, who can learn fast and who will be able to work well on their own as well as collaborate with partners. We’ll expect you’ll have proven experience of supporting projects and people, organising events, managing data and writing for different audiences.

This role will be what you make it and we’re looking for someone to seize this opportunity.

About Grandparents Plus

Kinship care begins in crisis. A child whose parents are unable to care for them. It’s frightening, painful, confusing. For the child, it can feel like their world is ending.

Instinctively, a loved one steps in – a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or family friend. They are now a kinship carer, bringing up the children they love. There’s no chance to prepare. Plans are pushed aside. Relationships, jobs and savings are sacrificed.

It’s life changing and challenging, raising children who’ve been hurt or neglected, but kinship carers do it without a thought for themselves because they put the children first.

And it’s a fight to get support. Kinship families raising over 200,000 children are on the brink of going under because there’s no recognition or support. They feel invisible. They are desperate.

At Grandparents Plus, we know how hard life can be for kinship carers. But we’ve seen the amazing things they’re capable of with someone by their side. With the right support, children raised in kinship families flourish.

That’s why we support, connect and campaign. To keep kinship families stronger by keeping them together.

Why work for us?

At Grandparents Plus, we are passionate about improving the lives of kinship carers and the children they raise. They deserve to be recognised, valued and properly supported so that the children they are raising have the best possible start in life.

It’s a fast-paced environment, with plenty of opportunity to put your ideas into practice to positively change the lives of vulnerable families. You will be joining the charity at an exciting time as we embark on a new phase of development - growing commissioned services, reaching more people who need us with advice and support, developing innovative digital services and diversifying our fundraising. Working with us, you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for kinship care families.

We’ve just moved into new offices in Vauxhall, with great transport links and a rich local community.

We’re a friendly team, passionate about doing good better. If that sounds like you, why don’t you join us?

GamCare is the UK’s leading provider of advice and support to problem gamblers and their loved ones.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and experienced Head of Programmes to strategically develop and lead on GamCare’s programme of engagement and awareness-raising projects.

After a number of successful fundraising initiatives in 2018/19, GamCare has developed several large-scale projects and significantly grown its engagement and awareness-raising activities in the past year. This growth has resulted in the formation of a Programmes Team, whose function is to deliver these varied projects coherently and consistently in line with GamCare’s mission and strategy. 

Programmes currently include two national programmes (focused on women and young people), seeking to raise awareness of gambling issues and provide outreach into communities, as well as several more developmental areas of work such as activity in the criminal justice system and with the armed forces community.  Funding is from a mixture of corporates, trusts and foundations and statutory sources.

As Head of Programmes you will lead this team with passion and energy, building commitment and driving a learning culture across it with a focus on knowledge sharing and evaluation.  You will have significant experience of project operations and oversight, including budgeting and risk management.  You will be able to think and engage strategically – ensuring projects fit into wider organisational goals, but with an operational focus, having a clear view across the projects and an eye for detail.

As the issue climbs the social, political and media agendas, it is an exciting time to join both GamCare and the gambling support sector as a whole. As Head of Programmes you will work closely with the Head of Development and Director of Development to identify and prioritise opportunities for further growth within this context. The successful candidate will be a senior leader able to communicate a clear vision and with a passion for supporting those affected by gambling harm.

Through this campaign, a network of high profile, high-net-worth donors have been established, who are committed to supporting the Charity on future projects, both personally and through their networks.
